Principles of Seismology
- Textbook
Description
The second edition of Principles of Seismology has been extensively revised and updated to present a modern approach to observation seismology and the theory behind digital seismograms. It includes: a new chapter on Earthquakes, Earth's structure and dynamics; a considerably revised chapter on instrumentation, with new material on processing of modern digital seismograms and a list of website hosting data and seismological software; and 100 end-of-chapter problems. The fundamental physical concepts on which seismic theory is based are explained in…

Key features
- The content has been updated and reorganized - practical aspects of seismology have been incorporated, including new developments in methodologies and new results and applications to the study of earthquakes and the Earth's structure
- Includes a new chapter on the analysis of the digital data - practically all analyses of seismological data are made using seismograms obtained from free data-banks, yet none of the existing texts covers this topic
- Has a wealth of worked examples and end-of-chapters problems, including computational exercises that can be solved by using the most recent and widespread codes and softwares, such as SAC, GMT, and PYTHON
- Online ancillaries are available, including figures in electronic format, solutions to selected problems, program codes and data for computational exercises
